Got an IMPOSSIBLE situation? The anxiety it
brings can wake you in the middle of a needed night’s sleep and then stalk you
in the middle of broad daylight. It can sneak up on you and cast a cloak of
fear and concern over your shoulders that you can’t seem to shake no matter how
hard you try. It can take you down. Squash all hope. Stop you in your tracks.

IMPOSSIBLE. IMPENETRABLE. UNCHANGEABLE. Maybe so . . . until God
gets involved. No matter the details of your circumstance, His raw power
potential and immeasurable ability refuse to cower in the face of any
challenge. Nothing is impossible with God. Nothing. Not even that thing.

This is the uplifting, well-reasoned answer from New
York Times best-selling author Priscilla Shirer—not a denial of life’s
adversities and troubles, but a biblical reminder that God is always up to
great things, even when His great things are greater then instant remedies and
visible change. He is a God who cares . . . and a God who CAN. Believe it.
Experience it. God Is Able.

GOD IS ABLE. This is something I had to learn time and time
again. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer. When our drain field had to be
replaced and we didn’t have that kind of money. When my husband had to have
dentures and we didn’t have money for that. Time and time again I would lay
awake fretting and stewing and worrying and yet, God came through. Because GOD
IS ABLE.

Written in a friendly, approachable style, Ms. Shirer
engaged me completely as a reader. I was sent this book to review (by the
publisher) and didn’t currently have an It
to talk about. You know, the big issue that has you picking up the book. I had
just come out of another scare where God came through. But I had to keep
reading. This book will be useful for anyone facing something that they are
stressing about whether God can handle it or not, or well, anyone to have on
their shelves or church library shelves, because we’ll all face those times
over and over and over when we can’t completely hand it over to God.

I KNOW that God Is Able. Why oh why can't I leave a family situation in God's hands and let HIM? I thought I had. I woke at 3:30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. I just simply don't understand why this happened to me. It happened 14 months ago and it wasn't until 7 months ago that I found out why other family members were saying nasty stuff about me on FB. Until then I didn't have a clue. Imagine my shock when I found out I was accused of saying things that never ever came out of my mouth. Until yesterday I thought I had turned it over to God. I guess it is the deep hurt that makes me ask why, why, why.

I have done one of her Bible studies and know how good her books are. I'd love to win this not only for myself but so I could pass it along after reading to Christian Library International who would send it for placement in a chaplain's library within a women's prison. Consider the possibilities there for those who know God is Able!
